Green Design

Sustainable design which is also called green design is a new thin

 kind of designing objects and architecture which will take in consideration the environment that is surrounding us, nature and our one and only planet. We as the most intelligent spices that live on this planet for many years we didn’t take in consideration the damage we did and we are still doing .We use fossil fuel oil in most countries as a main energy source. We designed allot of disposable products which eventually piled up. We mostly think in away that if something is broken buy another one and throw the broken one away .SO what happen is by time and carelessness and creed over money nature as in Earth is starting to answer our own problems with global warming deforestations in large parts of the globe which is causing a lot of problems for the animals and nature. The invention of plastic also created a large problem in the eco system. Plastic is one of the main technological source we use to create most of everything we use but the problem is not the plastic its how we use the plastic and how we didn’t take in consideration to recycle it form the beginning so eventually we trashed our own little blue planet and now we are learning from our mistakes.

The intention for green Design is to create products that won’t make an impact on the environmental that are simple and can be reused for many years without discarding them away or can be recycled in a proper way and reused to create other products, which at least will maintain a stabile balance.Eventually the process of ycleping and reusing the same material takes time and comes in a price, but we have no choice what so every as we have to act on this matter.

A lot of companies are acting on the situation by designing long lasting products, recycling reused materials like plastic, metal and computer components. There is a company, which makes recycled wooden wristwatches and by buying one the company plants a tree. Another good resource we can eventually use and by now its still in the begging is the sun. The sun is one gigantic energy source and if we focused on its source we can eliminate most of the energy problems but is something of an impossible to make it as a main energy source for now. Basically because of the oil companies and the creed over power and money.
Some designers even design products for third world countries like this example . to carry water.

Cars are also being a main focus on green design as many car manufacture companies are designing cars, which are electric powered, or hybrid, which basically uses to engines to power the car and is more energy efficient.

Recycled Plastic turned into a bag

Today most of the large companies are putting many effort and pushing designers to a new level of thinking of design and it makes sense cause we need a lot of designers and creative minds to make our planet safer and healthy. in the end its the only one we have and as  much as we have to take care of our self’s we need to take care of our home world as well  and we are in a point that we don’t have much time anymore so hopefully fingers crossed a change swill start to happen and it has to start within us and pass it to our children .
